摘要:

我们介绍了斯皮策太空望远镜IRAC和MIPS对0.85度^2视场的观测,其中包括南冕座(CrA)恒星形成区。在130秒差距的距离,CrA是已知最接近活跃形成恒星的区域之一,特别是在其嵌入的协星冕内。使用斯皮策的数据,我们确定了51个年轻的恒星对象(YSO)在CrA,其中包括源的研究冠状星系团以及分布在整个分子云。讨论的12个YSO是新的候选人,其中一个位于皇冠。从文献中检索到的已知YSO也被添加到列表中,共汇编了CrA中的116个候选YSO。根据这些YSO候选者,计算出其恒星形成速率为12 M_o Myr ^-1,与狼疮云相似。还进行了聚类分析,发现由68个成员组成的主簇核心是细长的(长宽比为2.36),圆半径为0.59 pc,平均表面密度为150 pc ^-2。此外,我们还利用新的CO和H_2数据分析了CrA中的外流和射流。我们提出了1.3毫米的干涉连续观测与亚毫米阵列(SMA)覆盖R CrA,IRS 5,IRS 7,和IRAS 18595 - 3712(IRAS 32)。我们还提出了多时期的H_2地图和检测喷流和外流,研究他们的自行,并确定激发源。IRAS 32的Spitzer和ISAAC/VLT观测显示了一个双极进动喷流,它驱动SMA观测中检测到的CO(2 - 1)外流。还有明确的证据表明,有一个秒差距尺度的进动外流,东西向,起源于SMA 2区域,可能是由SMA 2或IRS 7A驱动的。

英文摘要:

We present Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC and MIPS observations of a 0.85 deg^2 field including the Corona Australis (CrA) star-forming region. At a distance of 130 pc, CrA is one of the closest regions known to be actively forming stars, particularly within its embedded association, the Coronet. Using the Spitzer data, we identify 51 young stellar objects (YSOs) in CrA which include sources in the well-studied Coronet cluster as well as distributed throughout the molecular cloud. Twelve of the YSOs discussed are new candidates, one of which is located in the Coronet. Known YSOs retrieved from the literature are also added to the list, and a total of 116 candidate YSOs in CrA are compiled. Based on these YSO candidates, the star formation rate is computed to be 12 M_o Myr^-1, similar to that of the Lupus clouds. A clustering analysis was also performed, finding that the main cluster core, consisting of 68 members, is elongated (having an aspect ratio of 2.36), with a circular radius of 0.59 pc and mean surface density of 150 pc^-2. In addition, we analyze outflows and jets in CrA by means of new CO and H_2 data. We present 1.3 mm interferometric continuum observations made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) covering R CrA, IRS 5, IRS 7, and IRAS 18595-3712 (IRAS 32). We also present multi-epoch H_2 maps and detect jets and outflows, study their proper motions, and identify exciting sources. The Spitzer and ISAAC/VLT observations of IRAS 32 show a bipolar precessing jet, which drives a CO (2-1) outflow detected in the SMA observations. There is also clear evidence for a parsec-scale precessing outflow, E-W oriented, and originating in the SMA 2 region, likely driven by SMA 2 or IRS 7A.
